I'm using Outlook 2000. I am not receiving certain email I want to get
because of the automatic filter. How do I turn it off?
From the help file:
Automatically delete, move, or color-code all junk e-mail messages
1.. On the toolbar, click Organize.
2.. Click Junk E-mail.
3.. Select the options you want, and click Turn on for each set of options
you choose.
About filtering out junk e-mail
In much the same way that retailers and businesses use mailing lists of
postal addresses to send potential clients catalogs and other information,
others use e-mail messages as a direct marketing tool. If you do not want to
receive these messages, Microsoft Outlook can automatically move them from
your Inbox to your Deleted Items folder or to any other folder you specify.
Outlook creates a folder called Junk Mail, where you can move junk e-mail
and then review it before deleting. Or, you can have junk e-mail delivered
to your Inbox, but color coded so you can easily identify it. The list of
terms that Outlook uses to filter suspected junk e-mail messages can be
found in a file named Filters.txt.
You can also filter messages based on the e-mail addresses of junk and adult
content senders, allowing you to move or delete all future messages from a
particular sender. You can review the Junk Senders list and add and remove
e-mail addresses from it.
Make an exception in your Junk Senders list
1.. On the Tools menu, click Rules Wizard.
2.. In the Apply rules in the following order box, click Exception List.
3.. In the Rule description box, click Exception List.
4.. Click Add.
5.. Enter the e-mail address you want to make an exception for.
Messages sent from the e-mail address you enter will appear in your Inbox
as usual, even if the e-mail address is part of a domain listed in your Junk
Senders list. Any rules you applied to the domain will not be applied to
this sender.
I hope this may help.
